The Danish String Quartet

NOVEMBER 2 at 2 PM

Coolidge Auditorium

“… joyous, effervescent” –Gramophone

The self-styled Vikings of the string quartet world storm the Coolidge Auditorium for a concert of music by masters of the quartet medium. The program opens with one of Haydn’s last quartets, the “Sunrise”— which sets 150 years later with Ligeti’s innovative first string quartet, Métamorphoses nocturnes. An early work of the prominent Danish composer Abrahamsen is a series of miniatures that leads to Beethoven’s compact “Serioso” quartet. Belying the modesty of this excellent group’s biography, The Danish String Quartet is more than “…simply your friendly neighborhood string quartet with above average amounts of beard.” Photo credit: Caroline Bittencourt
